Some improvements but UX and PMP style must be addressed.

Pros

Things are improving.

New people are striving to make a difference.

The CEO is direct and sincere.

The world is our oyster.

Cons

There are challenges for sure.

UX leads are not about growing a great team and having a flourishing organization, but about being in control and having their say even if it is not providing value. We've lost so many people in that group. An entire team once, and more now. Can we please stop this nonsense? Discouraging.

PMO is about being in the middle of a controlling structure without providing significant value. They are not product or engineering, but somehow control how and what we mobilize. Why bother with good stuff if the supporting cast is mediocre at best, and criminal at worst? Discouraging.

The place should strive for innovation and delivery in a competitive manner, not about territory control of non-relevant stuff. A good product org restructure is needed.

Advice to Management

We really need to look at some of the directors. We need company leaders.
